I felt like I was at a broadway show! All the girls did amazing! They offer camp in summer and my daughter went for a week. She is only 4 and really liked it. She never once cried or felt uncomfortable. I highly recommend this studio. They also have a second location that we've attended and also loved. The BELLA location is very small and not a lot of room for the parents to sit and watch. The Ellsworth location has lots of space for people waiting and multiple rooms. I think the staff is doing an amazing job. My daughter LOVES her combo class. I highly recommend going here.

I have two kids that go to this studio and it has become their home away from home! We started when…read moremy oldest was two (she's 7 now) and I was pregnant with her little sister. Now the both take multiple classes and love every minute. Their baby brother loves it here too and always tries to sneak in class and the teachers are so sweet with him. They came to dance and fell in love with it but they also found a family here. All the older girls really take care of and love on them and it has been so special for me to watch and get to be a little part of. Maria was the first teacher we had and we all totally fell in love with her! She is an angel. I honestly was nervous to have my kids take classes with any of the other teachers because we loved her so much but as they started taking more classes and getting to know the other teachers we realized they're all just as amazing! All of the teachers really take the time to get to know each of the kids and make them feel loved and special while still teaching them and helping them grow and raise their own personal bar. They also have killer recitals and the most fun costumes! Every other recital is scripted and all the kids have an opportunity to audition for a speaking role and/or special dance. It is so fun and the kids have the best time with it! My kids confidence has grown so much in the last year here. I'm so grateful for this studio and the special part they play in our family's life.

It's an OK place to get lessons because the teaching staff is competent and they care about their…read morestudents in a personal way. The studio is rather small so it's not a place where serious dance parties can be held. They have field trips so the size of the dance floor might not be a problem for many students. Instructors go on the field trips, which is kind of cool because students can be nurtured as they progress in their dance skills. The experience level of the dancers is low so DD isn't a very good bet for dancers who want to social dance beyond newbie level. Probably most people that start at DD quickly move on to other studios and venues once they get the basics down. The lessons are expensive compared to many studios who have comparable instructors.

I was looking for a mid-morning class time and for her to learn technique. Studio R Ballet is clean, organized, and everyone has been so kind. The dance teacher is so sweet to the little girls, my daughter loves going to class. The class seems to have structure and she is learning technique, she loves practicing at home. I do wish they would have a homeschool program (looks like they take ESA!) because afterschool class times aren't super convenient. We live farther and traffic is rough if we were to continue going here as she gets older. Overall, we absolutely recommend!

Trust me when I say it's the BEST classical ballet school in the East valley! The studio itself is gorgeous and the instructors are highly qualified. The environment is positive and feels "like a family". The teachers have been a blessing and have become great mentors for my girls. Not only have they taught them proper technical training, but also how to be great, hard-working people. We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school. Special shoutout to Ms. Robbin - the owner/artistic director-- you are truly an amazing mentor to my girls and I can't thank you enough for the amazing love and support you've shown my kids. If you are looking for a state of the art classical ballet school that teaches with love, but trains them to be strong dancers, Studio R Ballet is it!

Dancers used the dining room as their dressing area, with no privacy afforded to them (BTW is it sanitary to have dancers' personal items all over commercial eating areas?). Dads were allowed in the changing areas, too. The dancers were required to haul their rented costumes on foot to and from the studio, next to the busy McKellips road with no supervision from the studio. There was nowhere to park, and we still had to pay our recital fees and admission fees to sit out in the elements. My kid was freezing cold. I paid for a professional recital. I had reasonable expectations that were not met. Where did my money go if we didn't have to pay for an auditorium? The studio is not being maintained. It's falling apart and it is filthy. The only good thing there is Beverly. I wish she'd open her own studio.

We thought everything was ok. We got an email saying we were let go saying we were unhappy and money-- which we never said. We had a conversation about cost a few weeks ago and it was cleared up. I think folks may have heard PRIVATE conversations I had with my family about cost and upset from miscommunication... which is why we had the conversation with Rachel (dancers ink) and it was clarified. We were all happy. Then behind our backs, guess someone decided to cause drama. Instead of talking with us-- they just sent a heartbreaking email. I would say-- watch your back if you go to this studio. I thought people were nice and familial. Not the case.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I would strongly…read moreadvise against doing business with Dance Deluxe. Our experience has been nothing but unprofessional, unethical, unorganized and frustrating. They have been deceitful about fees, restricting access to our payment records, and refusing to provide a clear breakdown of charges. Despite their claim that we owed costume fees, I reviewed my payment records (before they suspiciously revoked my access to the parent portal) and confirmed that all costume fees had already been paid. When we challenged them on this, instead of addressing our concerns, they shut down communication and made it unnecessarily difficult--seemingly because we decided to discontinue dance. Additionally, they are refusing to refund summer recital costume fees, yet won't provide any information on when we can pick them up. If the recital fees won't be refunded either, they should at least refund the remaining balance on our account. But instead of handling this professionally, they simply refuse to engage. Beyond the financial issues, there is a lot of favoritism at this studio. Certain dancers and families are clearly prioritized, while others are treated unfairly. When concerns are brought up, the staff is always extremely defensive instead of being open to feedback or resolution. Another major issue is their staffing. Instead of hiring experienced instructors, they rely on their older teenage dancers to teach classes. While some of these teens may be talented dancers, they are not trained teachers. I often found that if I wasn't sitting outside the room, the young instructors wouldn't effectively manage the class or keep students engaged. It's completely unprofessional to expect parents to monitor the instructors just to ensure they do their jobs. On top of that, the instructors are rude, unprofessional, and even make fun of students instead of creating a supportive learning environment. Rather than being encouraging, they act dismissively and unkindly toward certain dancers. No child should feel uncomfortable or belittled at a place that is supposed to foster growth and confidence. The facility itself is also disgusting. They never clean or sanitize the dance rooms or dressing rooms, and the whole place smells like urine and feet. For a place where kids are constantly moving, stretching, and sitting on the floors, basic hygiene should be a priority--but clearly, it isn't. A professional business should be willing to justify its charges, provide qualified instructors, and treat all customers with respect--even if they choose to leave. Instead, Dance Deluxe operates in a way that feels dishonest and retaliatory. If you're considering this studio, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere to avoid the same headaches we've experienced. If anyone would like to reach out to me to discuss this further, feel free to contact me. I'm happy to share my experience in more detail.

One thing that helps this studio stand out is their dedication to creating welcoming, inclusive, and high-quality experiences for everyone who enters their doors. The curriculum and instruction are personally crafted by the owner, Bekki, which makes such a difference--you can feel the intention, care, and expertise in every session.

I've been in the dance world for years, and Bekki -- the owner -- is truly one of the most knowledgeable and inspiring instructors I've ever met. She brings a level of experience you don't usually find outside of a university setting (she's actually the Dance Director and an Assistant Professor at Grand Canyon University), and you can really feel that in her classes. What makes Bekki so unique is her somatic approach. She doesn't just run you through steps -- she helps you understand your body, your anatomy, how movement should feel, and how to bring authenticity into your dancing. Her cues are super clear, thoughtful, and grounded in real anatomical knowledge. She has an incredible way of helping dancers tap into sensation, emotion, and dynamic movement. In Motion Dance & Pilates is absolutely worth checking out!
